Philosophy

Based on the Principles of Toyoda, which encapsulate the ideas of founder Sakichi Toyoda, the Toyota Boshoku group formulated our corporate philosophy for maintaining the trust of all stakeholders and our VISION, which articulates the type of company we aspire to become.

With the corporate philosophy and VISION serving as a framework, we have established clear policies, targets and plans for our business, social and environmental activities. We have also formulated the TB Way and the Toyota Boshoku group code of conduct to ensure that all company members share common values and behaviour.

Principles of Toyoda

Always be faithful to your duties, thereby contributing to society and to the overall good.

Be at the vanguard of the times through endless creativity,inquisitiveness and pursuit of improvement.

Always be practical and robust, and avoid extravagant and frivolous practice.

Always strive to build a homelike atmosphere at work, one that is warm and friendly.

Be reverent, and show gratitude for things great and small in thought and deed.
